This will ensure that the correctmeasurement mechanisms are in place (Dierick and Dochy, 2001; Wolf and Cumming, 2000). Inaddition, faculty agreement on the guiding principles defines the culture, that is the norms ofexpected behavior, for departmental assessment. Faculty buy-in to the guiding principles is anecessary aspect of the structure to prevent backlash from the inevitable change-managementsyndrome.

This paperdescribes the redesign and implementation of this course since 2015, focusing on the sectiontaught in 2023, as the most recent iteration of the course.The course focuses on three overarching topics: 1. Wicked problems (WPs). WPs are defined as very complex problems. They are hard to define and are characterized by having no stopping point, no point in which the problem has been clearly “solved” [1]. Climate change has been described as an example of a WP [2

In suchgraphs, data points help students understand the degree of scatter that is normally found in thesemechanical tests.Some limitations of graphing software can be overcome by changing default settings on fonts,standard symbols, line thicknesses, hard-to-read vertically-oriented text, or a legend that fails tolist symbols in the same order as they appear on the graph. Other limitations are best overcomeby converting a graph to artwork.This paper demonstrates ways to improve the quality of engineering graphs used in materialseducation by comparing many examples of

EES is an acronym for Engineering Equation Solver and has been selectedin this study to discuss the benefits of incorporating computer software for teaching introductoryareas of physics. The EES program was chosen because it is intuitive and simple to use, and hasbeen developed with features of noticeable relevance to engineering training.EES is an equation solver with built-in functions for thermophysical properties. With EES,therefore, it is no longer necessary to use tabulated information from texts or handbooks in a widevariety of physics problems. In general, EES can be used to solve algebraic, differential andintegral equations, check unit

employing only two-stages, the design of amplifier is already complex, in that achievingperfect inter-stage matching becomes difficult thereby causing device failure as return losses are small. Toresolve this, the design of amplifier first stage is undertaken independently, and then the second stage iscascaded to form a two-stage amplifier along with matching networks, resulting in a reasonable value ofreturn loss for sustaining device operation in low to mid-5G ranges.

into engineering education inthe early 1990’s and has since been a staple in introductory courses. Although many studies havebeen conducted in relation to product dissection, research has not been systematic, leaving us toquestion how variations in product dissection impact learning, creativity, or both for studentswhen used in the classroom. To fill this gap, our research group has conducted numerous studiesover the last four years in order to systematically investigate variations in deployment of productdissection in an engineering classroom. Using the findings from these studies, we havedeveloped a virtual product dissection module and deployed it in an introductory engineeringcourse. We provide recommendations for the use of product

Intheir view, students become more motivated to learn and to develop technical skills when thelearning goes beyond the classroom. Therefore, service-learning was viewed as a value-addedteaching strategy to enhance student learning of engineering content. As such, they weremotivated to use service-learning
